The devices have to be within the specified temperature range (ta) before they can be operated.

Overload protectionIf the maximum load is exceeded by a defined internal limit, the LED Driver turns off the LED output. After restart of the LED Driver the output will be activated again. The restart can either be done via mains reset or via interface (DALI, DSI, switchDIM).

Overtemperature protectionThe LED Driver is protected against temporary thermal overheating. If the temperature limit is exceeded the output current of the LED module(s) is reduced. The temperature protection is activated above tc max. The activation temperature differs depending on the LED load. On DC operation this function is deactivated to fulfill emergency requirements.

Short-circuit behaviourIn case of a short circuit at the LED output the LED output is switched off. After restart of the LED Driver the output will be activated again. The restart can either be done via mains reset or via interface (DALI, DSI, switchDIM).

No-load operationThe LED Driver will not be damaged in the no-load operation. The output will be deactivated and therefore free of voltage. If a LED load is connected the device has to be restarted before the output will be activated again.

Control input (DA/N, DA/L)Digital DALI signal or switchDIM can be wired on the same terminals (DA/N and DA/L).

Digital signal DALI/DSIThe control input is non-polar for digital control signals (DALI, DSI). The control signal is not SELV. Control cable has to be installed in accordance to the requirements of low voltage installations. Different functions depending on each module.

switchDIMIntegrated switchDIM function allows a direct connection of a push to make switch for dimming and switching.Brief push (< 0.6 s) switches LED Driver ON and OFF. The LED Drivers switch-ON at light level set at switch-OFF.When the push to make switch is held, LED modules are dimmed. After repush the LED modules are dimmed in the opposite direction.In installations with LED Drivers with different dimming levels or opposite dimming directions (e.g. after a system extension), all LED Drivers can be synchronized to 50 % dimming level by a 10 s push.Use of push to make switch with indicator lamp is not permitted.

corridorFUNCTIONThe corridorFUNCTION can be programmed in two different ways.To program the corridorFUNCTION by means of software a DALI-USB interface is needed in combination with a DALI PS. The software can be the masterCONFIGURATOR.To activate the corridorFUNCTION without using software a voltage of 230 V simply has to be applied for five minutes at the switchDIM connection. The unit will then switch automatically to the corridorFUNCTION.

Note:If the corridorFUNCTION is wrongly activated in a switchDIM system (for example a switch is used instead of pushbutton), there is the option of installing a pushbutton and deactivating the corridorFUNCTION mode by five short pushes of the button within three seconds.

switchDIM and corridorFUNCTION are very simple tools for controlling ballasts with conventional momentary-action switches or motion sensors.To ensure correct operation a sinusoidal mains voltage with a frequency of 50 Hz or 60 Hz is required at the control input.Special attention must be paid to achieving clear zero crossings. Serious mains faults may impair the operation of switchDIM and corridorFUNCTION.

Dimming curve is adapted to the eye sensitiveness.Dimming is realized by a combination of analog amplitude dimming and PWM dimming.35 ... 100 %: amplitude dimming1 ... 34 %: PWM dimming

Function: adjustable current (I-SELECT)The output current of the LED Driver can be selected between 350 and 900 mA via DALI.

Adjustment can be done by masterCONFIGURATOR (see masterCONFIGURATOR documentation).

Constant light output (CLO)The luminous flux of an LED decreases constantly over the lifetime. The CLO function ensures that the emitted luminous flux remains stable. For that pur-pose the LED current will increas continously over the LED lifetime. In masterCONFIGURATOR it is possible to select a start value (in percent) and an expected lifetime. The LED Driver adjusts the current afterwards automatically.

DC emergency operationThe LED Driver is designed for operation on DC voltage and pulsed DC voltage.

Light output level in DC operation: programmable 1 – 100 % (EOFi = 0.13).Programming by extended DSI or DALI signal (16 bit).Default value is 15 %In DC operation dimming mode can be activated.

The voltage-dependent input current of Driver incl. LED module is depending on the used load.

The voltage-dependent no-load current of Driver (without or defect LED module) is for:AC: 20.5 mADC: 5.5 mA

Intelligent Voltage GuardIntelligent Voltage Guard is the name of the electronic monitoring of the mains voltage. It immediately shows if the mains voltage rises above certain thresholds. Measures can then be taken quickly to prevent damage to the LED Driver.

• If the mains voltage rises above approx. 280 Vrms (voltage depends on the LED Driver type), the LED light starts flashing on and off.

• To avoid a damage of the LED Driver the mains supply has to be switched off at this signal.

Power-up fadingThe power-up fading function offers the opportunity to realise a soft start.The soft start will be applied at turning on the mains and at starts by switchDIM.The function is programmed as a DALI fade time in the range from 0.7 to 16 seconds and dimms in the selected time from 0 % to the power-on level.By factory default power-up fading is not active (0 seconds).

ProgrammingWith appropriate software and a USB interface different functions can be activated and various parameters can be configured in the LED Driver. All that is needed is a DALI-USB and the software (masterCONFIGURATOR).

masterCONFIGURATORAt version 2.8: For programming functions (CLO, I-SET, ITM, power-up fading, corridorFUNCTION) and device settings (fade time, ePowerOnLevel, DC level, etc.). For further information see masterCONFIGURATOR manual.

Circuit diagram

Wiring guidelines• Run the secondary lines separately from the mains connections and lines

to achieve good EMC performance.• The max. secondary cable length is 2 m (4 m circuit), this applies for LED output as well as for I-SELECT 2.• For good EMC performance, keep the LED wiring as short as possible.• Secondary switching is not permitted.• The LED Driver has no inverse-polarity protection on the secondary side. Wrong polarity can damage LED modules with no inverse-polarity protection.• To avoid the damage of the Driver, the wiring must be protected against short circuits to earth (sharp edged metal parts, metal cable clips, louver, etc.).

Installation noteMax. torque at the clamping screw: 0.5 Nm / M4

Earth connectionThe earth connection is conducted as protection earth (PE). If the LED Driver will be earthed, protection earth (PE) has to be used. There is no earth connection required for the functionality of the LED Driver.Earth connection is recommended to improve following behaviour.

• Electromagnetic interferences (EMI)• LED glowing at stand-by• Transmission of mains transients to the LED output

In general it is recommended to earth the LED Driver if the LED module is mounted on earthed luminaire parts respectively heat sinks and thereby representing a high capacity against earth.

Insulation and electric strength testing of luminairesElectronic devices can be damaged by high voltage. This has to be considered during the routine testing of the luminaires in production.

According to IEC 60598-1 Annex Q (informative only!) or ENEC 303-Annex A, each luminaire should be submitted to an insulation test with 500 V DC for 1 second. This test voltage should be connected between the interconnected phase and neutral terminals and the earth terminal. The insulation resistance must be at least 2 MΩ.

As an alternative, IEC 60598-1 Annex Q describes a test of the electrical strength with 1500 V AC (or 1.414 x 1500 V DC). To avoid damage to the electronic devices this test must not be conducted.

Additional information

Additional technical information at www.tridonic.com → Technical Data

Lifetime declarations are informative and represent no warranty claim.No warranty if device was opened.

Maximum number of switching cycles

All LED Driver are tested with 50,000 switching cycles.The actually achieved number of switching cycles is significantly higher.

Conditions of use

The LED Driver is declared as inbuilt LED controlgear, meaning it is intended to be used within a luminaire enclosure.If the product is used outside a luminaire, the installation must provide suitable protection for people and environment (e.g. in illuminated ceilings).

Disposal of equipment

Return old devices in accordance with the WEEE directive to suitable recycling facilities.
